This is an EnglandXOC story y'all, so if this is not your cup of tea (get it? Cup of tea, because England is Britain and there all about the tea over there...ok guess not -3-) then I advise you to please hit the back button at this time.

Disclaimer: This should be of no surprise, I do not own Hetalia *gasp* I know...

Set in the OC's P.O.V (Until I decide otherwise)

Kehe~ Let's Go!

"Pasta" - Normal Convo

'Pasta'- Normal Thinking

(Pasta)- Riku's Inner thoughts

*Pasta*- Authors Convo


I knew that the nations were really confused about my predicament, I mean if not even Tony, who's an alien knows, then who in the world could?

'What to do...?' I think this as I lay on top of my bed; Britain had a meeting with the rest of the Allies, he had offered me to accompany him but I refused. I wanted to spend the few hours alone to actually think.

"Hmm, where can I look?" Then it hit me! Japan and Britain had spoken about the library yesterday!

'Yea, I mean it could be a start..why not try and see?' I decided that the library would be my first stop. I get up from the bed and organize it before chang-wait?

I look at myself and notice something; I still don't have any clothes. I'm wearing another one of Britain's long shirt which I had to forcefully tuck into my jeans (The same ones I landed here with-don't worry there washed!)

"Well, I guess it's no use worrying about it now" With that I make my way downstairs where Anna, Isa, and Poppi are all chatting away.

"Ah? Riku would you care for some tea?" Anna asks as soon as I reach the last step

"Oh, no thank you." I think I drink tea more then I actually eat; I'm not complaining I enjoy drinking their teas.

"Then would you like something to eat? A sandwhich maybe?" Isa adds as she walks up to me and places her hand on my hair "Your hair is so soft, but you can't keep it so messy" she comments with a giggle.

"Thanks Isa but I'm also not that hungry. You three do so much for me already so don't worry about me." I say honestly as they all smile at me.

"Riku, your so nice! I wish you were my master!" Poppi runs and glomps me from behind. "Riku smells so nice~"

"U-uh..thanks?" I feel my cheeks heat up, normally you don't just tell someone that do you?

"Come now Poppi, your making sir Riku nervous." Anna states as she pulls Poppi from behind me; Poppi starts to whine causing Anna to giggle at her antics "She really seems to fancy you." Huh? She fancies me?

"I-I-I so do not!" Poppi stutters as her cheeks go red, coating her tan complexion.
Poppi is the youngest out of the tree maids, even though she's a year older than me, she's a lot shorter than me. Her hair is as black as the night sky, her eyes light coffee brown and she's very active and talkative-I've notice she doesn't speak in that polite tone as Anna and Isa.

"What plans do you have today, Riku?" Isa asks as Anna continues to tease Poppi. "Well, the only thing I wanted to do was go to the library. I wanted to see if there are any books I can find."
"Of course, would you like me to take you?"

"No, it's ok. I prefer walking better." Isa is always taking care of me and making sure I don't get lost or afraid-she's almost like mom in a way.

"Riku? Is something wrong?"

I jump back into reality when I take notice at the hand that's placed gently against my cheek. "You looked so sad, I thought something was hurting you. Are you sure your alright?"

I nod and give her a reassuring smile "Yes, sorry I kinda spaced out for a moment." I know Isa wasn't believing me but for her reason she decided to let it go. "Very well. Let me get you the map to help assist you."

"Thanks"


I don't know anyone who doesn't like the outdoors, it's so refreshing! And Britain's garden makes it even more beautiful. As I pass by it my eye catches the maze in the far back.

'I will go in there! It's like calling to me!' It was tempting not to go at that moment. But I knew that I had something much more important I had to take care of. ..

...

The differences between my town and this are high; there's people everywhere and mostly all of them greet you good morning, or in this case 'Cheers!', 'Hiya!' or 'How do you do?' it's a warm feeling I get whenever I answer them.

"Cheers to ya! How are you young chap?" A man with a round face and a round body greets me- I stop just to say hello.

"I'm good thank you, and you?" I greet him back.

"I'm fine, I noticed that you come from Sir England's place."
"Yes, your correct." I reply with a nod. I found it weird how his bubbly smile quickly left his face
"Are you another one of his maids?" Huh?

"No, I'm..." Think Riku!

"I'm a friend, I'm just here visiting him.." He nods so it appears he believed me 'Whew, that was a close one..'

But wait.. why did he assume I was one of Britain's maids? Not only that he asked it like if it was something bad?
"I'm sorry, you must be wondering what's gotten me so concerned.." The man looks both ways-as if hoping their are no eavesdroppers.

"There have been rumors, myths going on about Sir England.."

"Really? Like what?" I whisper back, what rumors could possibly be going on. This never appeared on the show. "It's been said how he has his home filled only with children, the three maids he already has, he's had them since they were 5 years. What? But maybe their relatives..

"But they could just all be friends wanting to help?" I try to assume

"It's not good to play Devils Advocate in a situation like this, chap" This man is so focus on believing this rumor that nothing I say will make a difference.

"Well, where's the proof?"

"What?"

"If these rumors are supposing true, then what proof is there. It's also not good to make up things that are not true." I always disliked those who come up with false stories on people. It's the same in school too; I had a rumored spread about me once and it was not good AT ALL.

"He used to have a small boy, he was supposing a new colony. Sir England took him in and at first everything was good and dandy, until the boy started to grow and wanted to adventure out on himself.

Wait a minute...

"England didn't want to so he would keep him locked in while he would do his rounding's. The boy eventually grew tired"

This sounds exactly like..

"There was a war between the two; eventually the boy-now a man separated from him. He's now his own man. This left Sir England in a depressing state and after 6 months he appeared with young Annalise"

N-No way..

"It's said that Sir England is very possessive; he's a good lad. He's got a good heart but his possessiveness doesn't let those attributes show out."

This is what happened between him and America; but Britain being possessive? I-I don't believe that.

"Uh, t-thanks for the information." I didn't want to talk anymore; I just want to head to the library as soon as possible. "Your welcome, and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I just felt like I should let you know-your rather young so.."

"No I understand, thank you for your concern" He smiles completely oblivious to how his words just left me. "Here, take a muffin. It's on the house!" 'C'mon Riku...just take it and walk away'

"T-Thank you, sir..good day" I accept his gift and walk away; letting out a sigh that I can finally go to the library.


...Why is it that I can't ever achieve what I want?

What that guy had told me about Britain, left me with no room to look for any valuable information. I mean, I know he and America had a rough past but was that the reason why he got Anna, Isa and Poppi?

No, I think the reason is more deeper than that?

Ughh! "This is too much!" I complain somewhat loudly.

"Excuse me, but could you please pipe down. I'm trying to read" I lift my head as that voice was somewhat familiar and infront of me I see a man, with dark brown hair; a black tux, and with glasses reading a book. 'That man..he's..'

"You know it's not polite to stare.."

"Ah! S-sorry.."

"..."

"..."

"...well?"

"Huh?"

"You are wanting to ask me something yes?" His Austrian accent is so sharp, I always enjoyed hearing it.

"Uh..I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find the Old England section." He doesn't meet my gaze as he turns the page. "Do I look like I work here?" He does have a point.

"No, s-sorry I'll find one.." I start to stand but he beats me by pointing "Back there, in the far right against the wall.." I stare at him in confusion. He finally looks at me and raises an eyebrow "Well?"

"I'm going, thanks!" I head towards the back wall breathing a sigh of relief once I'm there; I glance at all of the covers 'Wow..you can tell that no one checks these out anymore..look how yellow the pages are' I think as I'm going through one of the books.

"The Old English font is so enchanting, its remarkable.." I think as I trace through the large bolded letters.

'I have to maybe look for the magic section, or maybe Old English myths or folktales-I mean it's better to look at unnatural things when something unnatural occurs right?' With that in mind I go over a few rows where I come to a section of books with dark colors-they sure got the message across.

However, it's difficult to find which book to get when all of the titles are practically the same. 'Myths in Old England' 'Tales of Old English' 'The most disturbed myths and old tales of England' 'Superstitious reading of Britain'

Everything is the same!

...

Ughh it's no use being frustrated at the unchangeable so I guess I might just read the summaries of the ones I feel are most important. With an even number of books in my hands I head towards the only table in the way back. "I guess I might as well look at these over." I tell myself as I get the first book and start reading the first chapter.


Hmm..

Although the information is interesting, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. All this book talks about is vampires and wizards, not exactly what I had in mind.

"Hm, I didn't think someone like you would be interested in superstitions.." Ah! That voice!

I look up to see Austria looking down at me, his slanted eyes looking into my surprised ones. "Oh um.."

"Why is a kid like you, so interested in the dark England?" He adjusted his glasses and looks at the stack of books "Now that I think about it, you don't have much of a British accent" He glances at my attire.. "And clearly you can tell that shirt is to big on you.."

"U-Uh..well" He's so observant, why does he care so much? "T-That's because..I'm a student!"

"...a student? And what kind of school allows students to search topics as mysterious as these" Stop asking so many questions! I can't tell him the truth cause I don't know if the guys would want anyone to know; but Austria sure isn't making things easy.

"T-That's because it's for a project, well all got to find something unique about the country we choose..a-and since I've heard that England is sort of a place of magic and mystery. I-I just thought..." Why does he have to stare at me for?

"The thought that your clearly lying is making me question you even more..." UGHH! How did he know!?

"MR. AUSTRIAA!" A female voice gets our attention; thank you lord!

"I'm here, you don't have to be so loud. Your in a library remember.." he says as a woman with light brown hair comes running up to us. "I was looking everywhere for you. I'm ready for us to go now."

"Did you find your book?"

"Yes, now I can finally make dresses, instead of having to buy some!"

"Please remember your are in a library, Miss Hungary." Miss Hungary? That's right! No wonder she looked so familiar-better yet she and Austria are always together..

"Mr. Austria, who is that boy?" Miss Hungary steps closer to me and in all a flash of a minute she's pressing my head against her chest "He's soo cute!" Austria lets out a frustrated sigh as he rubs his eyebrows together "Miss Hungary, please control yourself. Let go of the boy, your gonna make him dizzy."

"Aww, but he's soo cute, he looks like a doll! Can we keep him? Please Mr. Austria?" What? NO WAY!

"It appears that he may already be staying somewhere, but I do agree that whoever he's staying with has no sense of fashion if they've allowed you to wander like that." ...well that's not really Britain's fault (But he could have offered to buy me some clothes, I mean he sure looks like he has the money)

"Aww you poor thing.." Miss Hungary places her hand on both my cheeks causing me to look at her. "I know exactly what clothes would look amazing on you!"

"Miss Hungary, remember he is a boy.."

"But he can surely pass along women wear!" Uh..I'm confused right now.

"Um, I appreciate the kind gesture but I'm ok." I reassure them.

"Your ok dressed as a hoodlum? You should accept my generosity since I rarely give it." Austria states as he pulls out a card and hands it to me.

"This is where I'm staying, you are to come tomorrow so that I can give you something 'normal' if you don't I will come to you." And by the look on his face I can tell he's not kidding.

"Ok.." Apparently I don't have a choice in the matter

"What is your name by the way?" He finally asks after a few silent minutes "Uh, Riku sir.." I respond.

"You don't have to call me sir, just Austria or Mr. Austria." he suggests as straightens his tie. "And this is Miss Hungary." She smiles as she captures me in another hug "Riku is such a cute name! You see? I knew you would be per-"

"Enough Miss Hungary, we are leaving." Austria adds as he starts walking away but not before glancing at me one last time. "I shall expect your presence tomorrow, correct Riku?" I quickly nod 'I don't want to upset him...'

"Very well, good to know.." I stand there not knowing how to comprehend my situation (What in the world just happened?)

"Don't worry Riku-" Blinking into reality, I look at Miss Hungary who was not hugging me but still kept a hand on top of my shoulder "Mr. Austria may seem a bit intimidating, but he's a good man.."

"Oh yes, sorry I guess it was so sudden.." It's certainly not everyday when a stranger offers to buy you new clothes and to his place of stay.

"I understand, but I really do look forward in seeing you tomorrow." Miss Hungary is very bubbly and kind that I can't just say no "Yea, I'll be there."

"Good! Maybe you'll be willing to try on one of my dresses!"

"Wait wha-"

"I'll see you tomorrow Riku! Mr. Austria wait for me.."

"Please stop yelling..."

'Why am I always getting myself into situations like these..?'


It was already a little late by the time I checked out all 5 books and started walking back to Britain's place. I still had Austria's proposal running through my head.

Should I go?

I mean, even though I appreciate Britain lending me his shirts-it's true that their way to big on me 'When my pants were being washed I tripped so many times Isa had to cut it and it looked like I was wearing a dress.' And I also want to wear comfortable clothing as well.

"Mmm, I guess I should I mean what could go wrong?" I conclude. As I pass by the village, you are able to see Britain's garden from far.

...Wait a second

If I'm not mistaken...

It looks like there's something over there.

"What's that?" I think aloud.

I can't make it out since its so dark but it looks like. A bear? Bears don't just walk around freely in Britain do they?

All I know is that its definitely alive since I see it moving. (I want to see what it is and at the same time I'm afraid to see..)

"DO YOU SEE ME...?"

Huh? What was that just now? I look around me hoping to find the source of that sluggish, throaty voice. There's no one around-but I know what I heard.

"HEHE YOU DO SEE ME, DON'T YOU?" No..it couldn't be..could it? Slowly I turn to face the 'creature' over in the garden. It can't possibly see me can it?

"AHH~ THAT I CAN, OLD CHAP" He does see me! I jump backwards as a reflex, there's no way! (If it can see me, and hear me from what it seems...then I should go to it right?) I slowly start to walk towards it and even though I'm scarred I decide to ask it questions, but it beats me to the punch.

"I'M SURPRISED, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE ME SO SOON.." W-what does it mean by that?

"Uh..w-who are you?"

"YOU SURE ARE BRAVE TO ASK ME THAT QUESTION LAD..NO ONES EVER DARE ASK FOR MY NAME." I can see why.

"S-Sorry.." I didn't notice I was infront of Britain's house until my legs came in contact with flowers; it looks like it's a lot farther than one would think..

"IN CASE YOU CAN'T TELL BY MY VOICE I'M A GUY, SO STOP REFERRING TO ME AS AN 'IT' YOU BLOODY GIT!"

"Ah! S-Sorry!" I really do not want to anger him! The creature sighs as I see him move his arm, what's he doing? I have no clue.

"OTHER THAN THAT, IT APPEARS EVERYTHING IS GOING SMOOTHLY.."

"Uh..what are you doing?" I decide to ask-if I can't know his name I could at least know his business right?

"NOTHING.."

"Nothing?"

"JUST THINKING HOW I MANAGED TO SMUGGLE A CUTE CREATION SUCH AS THIS.." Hmm? Is he talking about the garden?

Wait?

England is home to the mysterious and unknown! And Britain see's imaginary fairies and whatnot! M-Maybe this guy here is another one of those mystical things!

"I never thought I would actually see them..haha how cool!" I yell accidently; I was so into my discovery I didn't even hear the door open

"..."

"And where in the bloody hell have you been!?" ..Uh oh... I turn and see Britain glaring at me. "U-Uh...I've been nowhere."

"Nowhere? You little lying wanker! Come here!" He charges after me and I quickly run pass him and into the house; Isa and Anna smile at me as they bow "Welcome home Sir Ri-".

"Thank you Anna and Isa!" I reply as I run upstairs, with Britain right behind of course "You little Git, get back here!"

I make it to my room and close the door (locking it of course) and sit on the bed. In just seconds theres pounding on it. "Come on out! Explain where you were!?" He sure sounds angry...

"I was in the library!"

"And what in blood's name were you doing there! I told you to stay here until I returned!"

"I-I wanted a book to read! Besides it's not like I left without telling anyone!" Why's he making such a big deal?

"You Git...THAT IS NOT THE BLOODY POINT!" Hi s outburst silences me, is he really that upset?

"Do you have any bloody idea how worried you left us? The girls figured you would have been back by supper! But your selfishself didn't even think about that did you, you annoying twit!" They...were worried?

I drop my books on the bed and stand slowly; I walk towards the door with Britain's words fresh on my brain. 'He said 'us' so...does that mean that he too was...worried?'

I open the door and right then I'm shoved by a large force; blinking I notice that Isa was holding me..but wait? Is she? "Isa..? Why are you sad?" I ask

"I was so scared when you didn't come home for dinner!" she confesses and my eyes widen. 'I didn't think that they would be so concerned over me..'

"Riku, it's not wise to stay out after hours. You had us all sick with worry." Anna says calmly but I can hear her emotion either way.

"Waaa~ Riku~!" Another force hits me from the back, this time its Poppi "I-I thought you left!" her cheeks were also wet with tears. Even though this is serious I couldn't help but smile.

"What's so funny you bloody twit! This is not a jousting matter!" Britain tells me. Wiping my eyes from laughter I look at him "I didn't realize how much you all cared, Honestly. I'm happy!" I reply with a smile.

Britain's anger turns to shock at that moment. "Happy? What do you mean?" his voice turns softer at that time changing the atmosphere in the room.

I look at Isa and Poppi who are still clutching on to me "With the exception of Anna, Isa, and Poppi I was sure you hated my guts" I say normally.

"W-Wha? y-your off your trolley! I-I..you w-wanker, twit, prat, git, plonk-"

"Sir Britain.."

"UGH! I-I don't bloody hate you!" He confesses as he looks out the window as if there's something amazing out there; his cheeks are red and he started to loosen up his tie.

'He doesn't hate me...?' I was relieved, I mean it sure means that it will be living with him a whole lot easier. "Oh? so you act like that by character, not because you hate me." I chuckle a little as Isa and Poppi finally let go allowing me to stand.

"Your just grouchy!" I add happily.

"What, I am not grouchy you bloody Git!"

"Come on, its nothing bad if you are.."

"I am not! Your just a little-sissy-girl!"

"Hey! I didn't insult you, why are you insulting me!?"

"YOUR THE ONE CALLING ME A BLOODY GROUCH!"

"CAUSE YOU ARE!"

"WHY YOU WANKER! I"LL SHOW YOU GROUCH!"

"OW! THAT'S IT!"

"UGH! RELEASE ME YOU GIT!"

"...Now, now Sir Britain please release Sir Riku's ear and Sir Riku please release Sir Britain's cheek"

"HE STARTED IT!"
"HE STARTED IT!"

OoOoOoOo

That night I sat on my bed rubbing my red ear, stupid Britain..I was just giving him a compliment. He's so uptight...

I look out the window and suddenly remember the events that occurred hours back "The creature!" I quickly get out of bed and head towards the window- to my disappointment it (he) was no longer there.

It wasn't all in my imagination was it..?

No, I know it was there, it was real...I spoke to him and he spoke to me.
I make my way back to bed and lay down. "Hm, I wonder if I will see him again? I really want to know his name."

With that creature in my mind, I allow myself to fall asleep.


Oohh who's that creature I wonder..?

Anyway please leave me your thoughts! I loved Riku meeting Austria, how will their meeting go I wonder..?

Next Time:

"Riku, I've decided to buy you clothes."

...

"I-It's only because I want you to dress fashionably, it's not because I want to, understand?"

"That's the doorbell?"

"..."

"Sir Britain you have a visitor.."

"What are you doing here Austria?"

"...someone who was suppose to be where he said he would but wasn't"

"...Oh dear."
